Don't encourage him for gawd's sake Blue  . . . Tim will never sell another mod on here again, if he's forced to view an entire collection of River's lingerie! Oh I don't know... hosiery always does something to me....  |

Sounds interesting... of course as I wasn't around for the group buy of the drip shields and can't seem to order them from the website for delivery to the UK (hang the expense), I really wouldn't know |

Yeah, that's my understanding of the iAtty... I think there are a number of things that need to be addressed though with the iAtty, such as the availability of supplies... In my experience all of the GG Mods, including the spares, are done in such limited production numbers that spares soon become difficult to get a hold of, and that worries me with the iAtty - and in fact, all of the GG mods. I would much prefer to see JIT (Just In Time) production for the GG mods, which is what Bulli does... but that leads to wider adoption, a larger customer base, and of course, availability of parts and supplies.
Wick seems to be the biggest problem for all repairable atomisers, and I think that a suitable supplier needs to be identified to all, as opposed to mod producers keeping it under the down low to make us pay substantially exaggerated prices..
I've got a Bulli A1 coming as it is a repairable atomiser, and it has a tank, and I should have that this week with a bit of luck.
All I've got to do now is get a hold of my Apex from the post office and pay the customs duty... grrrr....

For sale, I have my lovely Chrome Omega... this is a lovely mod, very tactile and simple to use. I didn't think I would like the top activated actuator on this mod, but as it turns out, I really do.  Only selling this mod as I've got a load coming through this month, and it's going to get neglected, which is a complete shame. Attached picture is the mod in it's current state, and it will be stripped down and cleaned prior to despatch. I'm a little retiscent about parting with this one, so hoping that the new arrivals will make up for it.... I'm asking £45 for the mod including P&P and Paypal fees. Cheers Tim |

Hi, Please find for sale, my GD 18650 Tank Box, supplied in 'as new' condition, having been obtained from Garry less than a month ago, and has seen very little use. Those that know me, know that I have a rule with mods, in that I won't let them go to waste, and so the moment it sits around unused for a while, I sell it... someone else may as well see the benefit.  This box is the one with the blue LED, and it works flawlessly (please note, I only have the one box, posting this from work, hence the use of Garry's original image, but the blue LED box is the one I'm selling, this precise one, and in the same condition that you see in the pic). The main reason I don't use this one, is that these 18650 boxes were made without an on/off kill switch. Easy enough to add one yourself if you're that way inclined though. This is a great little mod, and if you're a tank user, an added boon, as the 18650 battery will last a lot longer than the regular Tornegovas... selling this beauty for £15 including P&P and Paypal. This is my first sale on here, and certainly won't be a last, but for those of you who haven't come across me before, check out UKVapers, where I buy (and sell) a lot, as I'm sure that those of you here that have dealt with me, will attest to. Cheers Tim |

Well Ian and I are of the same mind with mods, try them, see if you like them, and move on if you don't. I have a personal rule, that if a mod sits unused for a couple of weeks, then it's going, though often it takes much less time than that... On the subject of the A1.. I've gone the whole hog and have ordered myself the Bulli Extreme with A1... largely because it's one sleek unit, but also because I've heard that there's going to be a tank expansion for it at some point... what I wanted to get rid of were the hacks... the 2ml Tank Cart is fine, but it doesn't hold well in the A2 shell, and the Italian mod is a nice enough mod, but I actually found that it had a tendency (like all tanks), to continually feed the coil when upright, even when not in use... I will say that the carts in the A2 are the best I've come across, and I didn't find feeding the carts that much of a hassle... nice to know it went to a good home  Tim |

No worries Roachie. I just looked in my i tank atty and its the same as the 510-t inside. When that dies i'll strip that too. I've never managed to take the plate out of a tornado tank attie without breaking it but reckon you could repair it just the same way. I do this with my tornado t attys all the time, never had a problem breaking the plate though! |

Its funny you know i sometimes thank those stupid over priced adverts cause they were the things what intriqued me too look further into them.But im one to read and research before making the final click.The deal i kept gettin was for $199.99 lol BE SMOKE FREE was what used to glare at me in big blue letters. But then the more i looked into them the cheaper i found them. Sounds like you and I are much alike Jay. I got into vaping following a bit of SPAM in my inbox... no way was I falling for it, but it intrigued me, so a bit of research later, I discovered the TW website, bought a Titan 510 PCC and haven't looked back since!

I do something similar to this, but I don't bother with a 3mm tube... I use a pair of needle point pliers, and also one of those screwdrivers for glasses, of the type where you can pull off the blade part of the screwdriver and turn it round for a different sized blade.
In fact I was doing this last night, as I tend to keep all my dirty atty's in a box and clean them all in a batch.
As I'm also in possession of fresh wicking material (Bulli Atomiser), I actually use that, which is a little less fragile than the wick from a carto, and actually wicks better.
When cleaning, I grab the centre post with the pliers and pull sharply, pulling out the spike assembly. If I'm not replacing the wick, I simply burn it over a gas flame until it's white. I then dry burn the atty, which is easy, and you can really see that crud burning off the atomiser wire. By the time I've done this, the spike plate has cooled.
At this point, I take the screwdriver, pull out the blade, and put the spike assembly with the spike inside where the screwdriver blade goes, screwdriver pointing up. I then take the atty, turn it upside down, and slide it over the spike assembly until it touches the base, turn the whole thing over, put the atty down onto the table, still holding the screwdriverand spike assembly in place, and push down hard until I hear a click, and done.
To replace the wick, follow the process as described in the pictures, but with a larger piece of wick from the bulli (can cut it to size once threaded), it's a little easier than fiddling with the tiny offcut from a carto. If I get chance tonight I'll do a video of the whole process if that will help?

When you're ready to sell these, I'll definitely be interested at that price!

From the experience of when I got my first A2, I would have to say - sadly - that they don't inform you, no. I only found out last time because after a while I grew impatient and emailed Cetin to find out what the progress was... to be told it had been despatched that day.
I'm kinda hoping that my Extreme + A1, second A2 and other bits are due to be sent any day now.
